Understanding The Prophetic: Introduction

Understanding The Prophetic: Introduction

INTRODUCTION

The Church of Jesus Christ is living in a time of great spiritual confusion concerning prophecy, prophets, spiritual gifts, and the operation of the Holy Spirit. Across many churches and denominations, serious debates have emerged over whether prophecy is still active today or whether it ended during the Old Testament era or with the early apostles.

Some preachers strongly teach that God no longer speaks through prophets, visions, dreams, or prophetic revelation. Others believe the prophetic ministry remains active and necessary for the edification, direction, warning, and strengthening of the Body of Christ. As a result, many believers are now caught between fear, skepticism, deception, and misunderstanding.

This confusion has produced two dangerous extremes within the Church:

some reject everything supernatural,

while others accept everything without biblical testing and discernment.

At the center of this confusion is the abuse of prophetic ministry by false prophets, manipulation, commercialization of prophecy, emotional control, false predictions, and ministries operating outside biblical order. Because of these abuses, many leaders have reacted by rejecting prophecy completely instead of restoring proper apostolic and prophetic order according to Scripture.

However, abuse does not cancel truth.

The existence of false prophecy does not mean God has stopped speaking. In the same way, false teachers do not mean teaching has ended, and false pastors do not mean shepherding no longer exists. Counterfeit operations only appear where something genuine originally existed.

The real issue facing the Church today is not whether prophecy exists. The real issue is whether prophecy is functioning according to the nature, character, order, and foundation of Jesus Christ.

This article seeks to bring biblical clarity, spiritual balance, and apostolic understanding concerning prophecy in the New Testament Church. It aims to separate:

truth from error,

genuine prophetic ministry from manipulation,

biblical order from spiritual confusion,

and the voice of the Holy Spirit from emotional or fleshly operations.

As the It’s All About Jesus Christ Prayer Movement and the Apostolic & Prophetic Order Movement, we believe the Church must return to:

Christ-centered doctrine,

scriptural discernment,

apostolic order,

spiritual maturity,

and the genuine work of the Holy Spirit.

The goal is not to promote extremes. The goal is to restore truth, balance, discernment, and proper spiritual order in the Body of Christ.

For where truth is absent, confusion increases. But where biblical light enters, confusion begins to disappear.

THEME: BORN OF A WOMAN, BORN OF GOD

THEME: BORN OF A WOMAN, BORN OF GOD

Daily teaching   May 16, 2026

 

“Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.” (Job 14:1)

To be born of a woman means to enter a fallen and broken world marked by pain, weakness, sorrow, and death. From the womb, humanity inherits the reality of suffering because sin has touched every corner of creation. 

Job reminds us that life is “of few days,” meaning our existence is counted carefully by God. Life moves quickly; yesterday feels near while tomorrow is never guaranteed. We measure life not by how many years we hope for, but by how fragile each day truly is.

Yet this truth is not meant to terrify us, it is meant to awaken us. Since life is short, we must love deeply, forgive quickly, encourage sincerely, and walk humbly with God. Hatred wastes precious days. Pride steals eternal purpose. Bitterness poisons the little time we have on earth.

Those born only of a woman face trouble with human strength alone. Fear overwhelms them, suffering crushes them, and hopelessness consumes them. But those born of God through spiritual rebirth walk differently. As Jesus Christ taught, we must be born again. Those born of God still face trials, but they receive divine help, sustaining grace, and heavenly peace. Suffering no longer destroys them; it transforms them into vessels of faith and endurance.

Jesus came from above to lift those born below. Through Him, fragile humanity receives eternal life, and troubled souls become children of God.

NEW MERCIES THIS MORNING

 

“His mercies are new every morning.” — Lamentations 3:23

Every new day is proof that God has not given up on us. Yesterday may have carried pain, mistakes, or unanswered prayers, but this morning comes with fresh mercy, fresh strength, and fresh hope.

Before you face the demands of the day, pause and remember: God is already ahead of you. He will guide your steps, strengthen your heart, and provide what you need.

Walk into today with confidence, knowing that the Lord who woke you up will also sustain you.

Prayer:

Lord, thank You for the gift of a new day. Lead me, protect me, and let my life bring glory to You today. Amen.

Jehovah, the Warrior of Our Battles — Do Not Leave Him Behind, Go With Him

Jehovah, the Warrior of Our Battles — Do Not Leave Him Behind, Go With Him

Daily teaching   May 14, 2026

 

By Dorcas Moyo

Judges 4:14–16

Barak did not win the battle against Sisera by his own strength, but it was Jehovah who fought the battle against the enemy until Sisera fled. However, there was something that troubled me about this story for a long time. It was Jehovah who defeated Sisera, not Barak or Deborah. So why did Jehovah first tell the people to rise and go up to Kadesh when He was fully capable of fighting the battle alone? Why make people spend all that time? And why, after they arrived there, did He send word for Barak to go down and fight Sisera, yet by the time he arrived the battle was already won? Ahh, I learned something there.

Israel had been under Sisera’s oppression for 20 years while Jehovah was still there watching over them. But the battle from heaven only came after the people had gone out to fight. Yes, God is the warrior of our battles, but He intervenes after you rise up and go into battle. Misunderstanding God’s miracles is causing many people to lack wisdom. As children of God, we now want things to happen while we are sleeping. Yes, God provides, that is true — but what are you doing? Rise up and go into battle; you know who took your blessings.

Women, constantly crying that your husband is being taken away does not help. Rise up, daughter of humanity, and rebuild your home. What are you doing to stop it from collapsing? Shammah stood firmly and defended the bean field from enemies (2 Samuel 23:11–13). The time of crying while allowing Satan to torment us has passed. Today’s believer must stand firm. God defeats enemies for those who rise up and fight, not for those who remain asleep. You keep having dreams warning you about attacks, yet you are the champion of hugging the blanket and continuing to sleep. Wake up and pray instead of becoming comfortable with Satan’s attacks. I hope I have been understood here.

Churches Rally Communities Through Prayer, Clean-Up Campaigns and Mothers’ Day Celebrations

Churches Rally Communities Through Prayer, Clean-Up Campaigns and Mothers’ Day Celebrations

The Zimbabwe Council of Churches (ZCC) has begun the new week by reflecting on a series of impactful community and spiritual activities carried out through its Local Ecumenical Fellowships (LEFs) across the country.

On May 8, 2026, Youth Ecumenical Fellowships in Masvingo and Beitbridge hosted uplifting back-to-school prayer gatherings aimed at encouraging and spiritually equipping learners ahead of the new school term. In Masvingo, youths attended an all-night prayer session, while in Beitbridge a special youth service was held to inspire and guide young people as they prepare for academic challenges.

Meanwhile, in Bulawayo, Local Ecumenical Fellowships participated in the national clean-up campaign, promoting environmental responsibility and community care. The initiative reflected the biblical call for stewardship of creation as stated in Genesis 2:15: “The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.”

In Gweru’s Mtapa, Ascot and Mambo Mubatanidzwa communities, Women Ecumenical Fellowships gathered to celebrate Mothers’ Day under the theme “God’s Purpose for Motherhood.” The event provided an opportunity for fellowship, reflection and appreciation of mothers and women serving within the church.

The ZCC encouraged believers to remain guided by faith as the week progresses, sharing the scripture from Psalm 37:23: “The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in Him.”

Church leaders and fellowship groups expressed hope for a peaceful, productive and grace-filled week for communities across Zimbabwe.

Faith and action came together this week as the Zimbabwe Council of Churches joined partners for a four-day Zimbabwe Partner Workshop hosted by Canadian Foodgrains Bank, reaffirming a shared Christian commitment to strengthening food security and uplifting vulnerable communities across Zimbabwe.

The workshop was officially opened by ZCC Head of Programs for Humanitarian Services and Diakonia, Maria Tendai Dendere, who praised partners for their dedication to transforming lives and restoring hope in struggling communities. She highlighted the importance of unity, compassion, and faith-driven partnerships in responding to poverty, climate challenges, and food insecurity.

Bringing together organisations such as TSURO Trust and Pentecostal Assemblies of Zimbabwe, the gathering created a platform for collaboration, learning, and reflection among churches and development partners committed to ending hunger and improving livelihoods.

Through support from the Canadian Foodgrains Bank, the partners are contributing to global humanitarian efforts reaching more than 32 million people worldwide while advancing Sustainable Development Goals focused on ending poverty and hunger.

For the ZCC, the workshop strengthened ongoing work under the Scaling Up Resilience Project in Gutu and Bikita districts, where communities are being equipped with climate-smart agricultural methods and sustainable resilience-building initiatives. Together with PAOZ and TSURO Trust, the partners are currently supporting 2,885 households — representing nearly 14,425 individuals — in Chimanimani, Zaka, Bikita, and Gutu districts.

The first day of the workshop focused on sharing practical solutions and success stories in key areas including soil and water conservation, small grains processing and value addition, diversified livelihoods, and gender equality.

Church leaders and development partners said the initiative reflects the Christian calling to serve the poor, feed the hungry, and stand with communities facing hardship.

The ZCC also expressed gratitude to The United Church of Canada, Alongside Hope, and Emergency Relief and Development Overseas for their continued solidarity and support in helping vulnerable communities build stronger and more secure futures.
